1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The risk of colorectal cancer in Indian patients with long-standing ulcerative colitis is high and similar to that in the West. Surveillance for dysplasia in these patients is therefore important. Recent studies and guidelines suggest an increasing role for chromoendoscopy-guided biopsy in surveillance for dysplasia. We report our experience with the technique of chromoendoscopy and an economical method of performing it. Reconstituting indigo carmine from a powder form rather than the dyes available commercially is a better economical alternative and should help make chromoendoscopy the standard of care for dysplasia surveillance across the country.
